短对话
11. W: There were more than 100 people at Kate’s birthday party. How come she’s got so many friends?
M: It’s really no surprise. You know she was popular even when she was a child.
Q: What does the man imply about Kate?
12. M: They say there will be a snow storm tonight and the cold weather will last quite a few days.
W: Oh, we are so lucky we will be getting away for a while and having a holiday in Florida. But let’s call right now to confirm our flight.
Q: What do we learn about the two speakers?
13. W: Tony was awarded a medal for rescuing several families from the forest fire.
M: I really admire his courage.
Q: What do we learn about Tony from the conversation?
14. M: My washing machine is more than 15 years old and it had worked just fine until last night.
W: You’ll never be able to get parts for it, even from Japan. So it might be time to invest in a more recent model.
Q: What does the woman suggest the man do?
15. W: I heard about your promotion, you must be thrilled.
M: Not really. The new office is huge, but the workload has doubled.
Q: What do we learn about the man from the conversation?
16. W: I can’t decide what to do about the party tomorrow.
M: You don’t have to go if you don’t want to, but I will be glad to give you a ride if you do.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation?
17. M: Now, if you have any questions about the contract, I will be happy to answer them.
W: Nothing comes to mind right now, but I’d like to go over all the articles of the contract once more before signing it.
Q: What are the speakers doing right now?
18. M: We are out of paper for the printer, can you please order some?
W: I completed the order form online yesterday, and it will be here by noon. I’ll let you know when it comes in.
Q:What did the woman do?
